What’s The Coaching Structure?
The base coaching is three 45 minute calls per month, usually three weeks in a row and then a week off. Phone charges are included in your coaching fee. This is supplemented by email coaching at no extra charge, and “power coaching” calls in the interim as needed. You take on as much homework (or homeplay!) as you choose, and most of the learning/growth/action happens between the calls.
How Long Would We Work Together? We usually start with a three to six month period. I ask my clients to continue with coaching as long as they love the coaching and are getting much MORE value than the money they are paying. This could range from three to twelve months, or even a couple of years.
What Does Coaching Provide? This is different for each client. Most often I hear words like accountability, inspiration, direction, focus, sounding board, validation, challenge, support. However, the bottom line is we are usually after a specific result that you have identified that will make a difference in your life.
Do You Have a Specialty? I specialize in working with entrepreneurial women. My clients typically either have their own business or they want to start a business, and they are women who value success in their business equally with success in the rest of their lives. My coaching methods will help you to create and maintain a focus on what matters to you the most. This means that as you work hard to create the success you want, you will not lose track of the rest of your life!
What is the Cost? The following fees are for regular business coaching. I am open to creating a customized coaching program for a particular client when needed. You will note below that I provide an incentive for clients to commit to a specific period to achieve their goals, and I generally do not agree to take on a coaching client for less than three months. The monthly rate for coaching is $350.00. Clients may pay for one month at a time at this rate. I offer a 15% discount for pre-paying for three months at a time, and a 25% discount for pre-paying for six months at a time. The investment for three months paid in advance is therefore $892.50, a savings of $157.50 over paying monthly, and the investment for six months coaching is $1575.00, a substantial savings of $525.00 over paying monthly.
What forms of payment do you accept? I accept cash, check, VISA, Mastercard, Discover and PayPal.
Do you offer a referral fee?
I love referrals, and they are the lifeblood of my coaching practice. If you know someone who could use a coach, simply refer him or her to me at 401 338-5551 or www.ontrackandonpurpose.com to request a complimentary consultation, and have them mention your name. For a referral who becomes a client, I offer you your choice of a free week of coaching or 20% of their first month’s coaching fee, whichever you prefer, as a thank you.
Do I Have Any Guarantee? If, once you have received your welcome pack and completed your first coaching session, you do not feel completely happy that you have made the right decision, I will happily refund your money in full. This is a one-time option, which you may exercise at the end of your first session only. It is your back door, so don’t be afraid to get started!
What if I decide not to finish the coaching term I’ve paid for? If at any point in the coaching process you are not getting value, my experience is that we’ll both know it. You may end your coaching at the end of any scheduled month of coaching and receive a refund for any pre-paid unused months. You will no longer receive the discounted rate for the months you used, so the refund will be based upon paying the full fee ($350.00) for the months used. The bottom line is, you should only continue coaching as long as you are extremely pleased with the results and getting more value than the money you are paying. If at any time during the coaching process you do not feel this way, please let me know right away so that we can either change the direction, focus or method of coaching so that it meets (and exceeds!) your needs, or discuss whether or not our coaching should continue. I am never satisfied unless you are.
Do you really only work with women? What if a man would like to hire you for coaching? My focus is definitely working with entrepreneurial women, but I do have occasional male clients and I enjoy working with them very much as well. It's not unusual for one of my women clients to refer her husband to me!
